Hi,

leafnode 1.9.37.devel1 is available for download from
http://mandree.home.pages.de/leafnode/

It brings these changes. Please test:

### BUGFIX
- - Fetchnews properly tracks when reading the active file from a server fails
  and retries and the next run.

### INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES
- - Leafnode programs now REQUIRE that they can read the spooldir (and not only
  execute it). As the spooldir has always been readable, the impact of this
  change is negligible.
- - The default lockfile location has changed to $spooldir/leaf.node/lock.file.
  This is meant to prevent packaging errors, as the lock file must be in a
  directory writable by the "news" user. --with-lockfile can be used to
  configure the former lock file location which used to be
  /var/lock/news/fetchnews.lck.
- - Leafnode programs now enfoce a umask of 02, just to be sure. Should have no
  visible impact.

### CHANGES
- - Fetchnews now prints an error message when saving the current working
  directory fails when it tries to post articles.
- - Fetchnews now prints the reply from the upstream server when reading the
  newsgroup list (all or new) fails.
- - The internal directory creation code has been revised.
